Cone emission from laser-pumped two-level atoms. II. Analytical model studies

Li You, Jan Mostowski, J. Cooper

We establish a mechanism, which supports Cherenkov-type radiation, as a source of cone emission. This can be considered as an additional mechanism to the previously discussed four-wave mixing (4WM) and initial encoding and follow-up refraction effects. The radiation source is provided by spontaneous emission of the driven atoms at the frequencies of interest. Due to the medium dispersion, the pump field propagates faster than the phase velocity of the field that is generated at the Rabi sideband at lower frequency. Cherenkov radiation is then possible if the source has a long correlation length, which is indeed the case despite the random nature of spontaneous emission. Coherent superposition of the source for the lower-frequency field is in an off-axis direction given by the Cherenkov radiation condition. Differences between 4WM and Cherenkov-type models are consequently resolved.

Relaxation of kinks in the Ising chain with a transverse field interacting with a three-dimensional phonon field

Jasmina Tekić, Zoran M. Ivić, S. Stamenković +1 more

The influence of phonon fluctuations on the dynamics of kink-like domain-wall excitations in the one-dimensional Ising model with a transverse field (s=1/2) was investigated. It was found that such non-linear excitations behave almost like classical Brownian particles. This is the consequence of the emission and absorption of acoustic phonons excited by domain walls propagating through the vibrating lattice. The effective friction and diffusion constants are also evaluated. It was established that the overall process has the character of Cherenkov-type radiation.

Slow Group Velocity and Cherenkov Radiation

Iacopo Carusotto, M. Artoni, Giuseppe Carlo La Rocca +1 more

We study theoretically the effect of ultraslow group velocities on the emission of Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation in a coherently driven medium. We show that in this case the aperture of the group cone on which the intensity of the radiation peaks is much smaller than that of the usual wave cone associated with the Cherenkov coherence condition. As a specific example, we consider a coherently driven ultracold atomic gas where such singular behavior may be observed.
